Neighborhood - Austin

Austin

Austin is the largest neighborhood in Chicago, whether you count by population size or by the acre. Renting apartments in Austin is popular due to the neighborhood's excellent public transportation system, proximity to downtown Chicago, its historic buildings, and its affordability.

The neighborhood boundaries stretch from the Metra commuter train tracks near Grand Avenue in the north to Roosevelt Road in the south. The eastern border follows the old Belt Railway tracks that run along Kenton Avenue. The western border is Austin Boulevard, though the area stretches farther west along North Avenue, extending a small arm, known as Galewood, that reaches Harlem Avenue.

Ratings give an overview of a school's test results. The ratings are based on a comparison of test results for all schools in the state. School boundaries are subject to change. Always double check with the school district for most current boundaries.
